Drylaw Hearts Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Neither of them. Ratboy too much baggage. Gow if he aint good enough for Der Rankgers then no thanks.

Hans von Luck Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Niemi and Macpherson were deemed not good enough for Rangers and both of them did ok at Hearts. Hever said that Ratboy was not good enough, just that the extra baggage would be too much. As for Gow, christ he has played less minutes for Rankgers than the Russian old guy the signed all those years ago who got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GhostHunter Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I think we have very little chance of signing DR. From Donkey on Talk107 Sources close to Riordan claim he'd rather move to Tynecastle than spend another six months playing for Celtic reserves, although a switch to Easter Road remains his prefered choice.

As for Gow, christ he has played less minutes for Rankgers than the Russian old guy the signed all those years ago who got injured. His off-field baggage would soon be forgotten when he started scoring goals. Whatever DR has done in the past is just exactly that - in the past ! No matter who he signs for I suspect he'll be told to change his social life or face more fines and more weeks with no football. Gow had an excellent last Season at Falkirk and for whatever reason he's never been given a chance at 'Gers. I don't understand why though. I'd take them both - they can't be any worse than Mole, Makela or No.29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Sidious Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I have a jolly happy Hibbee at my work, her cousin who works at Fester has confirmed Ratboy had a medical yesterday.

makateer Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Is Gow not away down to Blackpool? Am sure I heard that yesterday, but could be wrong. From the BBC website today: 0903: One man not on the move is Rangers striker Alan Gow. He has rejected a ?250,000 move to Blackpool. No illuminations for him then.

djf Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Just how much does DR want to go to Hibs though?

Jammy T Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 'Sources' close to Riordan have told several guys I know that he won't sign for Hearts. Unless Hearts offer him something completely outrageous in terms of wages then he'll be at ER this evening imo. I think, if we are in for Riordan, there would be a number of things a footballer with his head screwed on would consider: 1. money (obviously) 2. Kenny Miller probably showed yesterday that it only takes an important goal or two to turn most of your own fan sceptics in a difficult move 3. Michael Stewart and Paul Hartley have proven that not only can the move be successful, but that Hearts are a good bet to improve your international chances if you show some form 4. which manager will likely improve you 5. (negatively) the Romanov factor I really dont know how much the Romanov factor weighs on a Scottish player's mind. However, a sensible young player would take these factors into account. If Riordan takes these factors into account then there is a good chance he will sign for Hearts if there is a genuine offer on the table. Ir Riordan does take these factors into account and he does sign for us, then there is actually a good chance he is growing up, and will more likely than not be a huge asset for us, and ultimately Vlad If he doesnt take these factors into account, he will be no loss, and will simply be going for the easy option.

He was in court receiving a ban from Nightclubs which led on from an incident which happened several months ago IIRC. I don't like the guy but he is a player who could win matches for Hearts and we can hardly afford to be choosey these days. I'd never sing his name but I'd celebrate every one of his goals.

Stupid Sexy Flanders Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 We are all talking about players coming in Gow etc but what about players going out ie Kingston & Berra. Grumpy. So we have accepted bids for them, they have agreed terms and have actually signed on the dotted line for other clubs? Otherwise, your use of the term "ie" is totally incorrect.

I'm not a big fan of him pulling on the Hearts jersey but your memory does not serve you correctly. He was NOT up in court. The press reported that he'd been seen ("caught") in a nightclub. The nightclubs in the Edinburgh 'pub watch' thing had banned him for a year but as a result of finding him in one, have upped it to two years. Nowt to do with courts/ law etc and pretty much a non-story. imo. Anyway, lets see what today/ this evening brings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodfella Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Gow seems to have definately rejected a deal to go to Blackpool. 250k, although I would expect them to come back with maybe a 6 month loan bid if Hearts don't swoop. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7590492.stm The transfer tracker thing. It's on 0903 so hopefully is recent confirmation. I'd take him myself, player with plenty of ability and would be desperate to prove himself. Not so keen on Riordan though, although thats more because I think we have less of a chance of signing him. I'll be pretty surprised if he doesn't end up at Easter Road or staying at Parkhead tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTBCAL Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 This Hearts team is crying out for a 20 goals a season striker that knows Scottish Football. Who fits that bill?

I was there on Sat morning and spoke at length to our new Polish signing from Kaunas - I asked if he was playing for the U19s v St Mirren before he explained who he was. A 1st team player I spoke to said that although Tullberg had quick feet, strong and good in the air - he doubted he would score a lot of goals - he would set them up for someone playing off him. He also said Stevie Banaks was fairly happy with his new role (he certainly looked to be in good spirits) but he said SB would rather be playing but understood the decision.

Jam Tarts 1874 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I believe "ill-gotten" most assets obtained in the fire sale of the people's property by Boris Yeltsin after the break-up of the Soviet Union. Off-subject, I know, and Shed material, merely answering a query. Still doesn't explain why you use the term "ill-gotten", there is no evidence whatsover that Romanov did anything underhand.
